The Junker again raised his head, exclaiming with sparkling eyes: "Unite every good and noble quality, and embody them in the form of a tall, handsome man, then you will have the image of my father; and I might tell you of my mother " "Is she still alive?" asked Peter. "God grant it!" exclaimed the young man. "I have heard nothing from my family for two months. That is hard.
